House Guest

So, our future boss, the team leader for La Ceiba, Mike Pettengill has been staying at our house since this past Friday night. He was in town for the CovCom Missions Conference (our home church), as well as meeting up with some of his other supporters here in the valley.

It has been a pretty interesting few days. It started when I got a message saying he needed picked up at the airport. Not a big deal, but we had no chance to talk and set up the details, so we both walked around the terminal for awhile and randomly ran into each other on the curbside.

We have stayed pretty busy, which is good. Ashley and I are just starting our support raising efforts and he is someone who raised support only a few years ago and continues to look for people to support the ministry in La Ceiba.

Mike has made us dinner 3 times already and all three times it has been really good. He was the navigator as we drove to a meeting and told us to "keep going, I think there is another Chandler Rd." (we ended up being about 10 minutes late since we had to turn around after a few miles)

So far so good on having a third person around the house this week. We are very much looking forward to working with Mike and his family and the rest of the Honduras team when we get there! -M
